Prince Edward and Sophie to represent royal family at Victoria and Daniel's wedding

Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex will host an official reception for the couple aboard HMS Kent, before representing the Queen at the ceremony itself at Stockholm's cathedral.

With the wedding coinciding with Royal Ascot week, other members of the royal family already have full agendas and will be unable to attend. Princes William and Harry will be representing Britain at the World Cup in South Africa.

However, other royal families from Europe and beyond have also been confirming which of their members will be attending the much-anticipated nuptials.
